It is with great sadness that Les Grands Ballets has learned today of the passing of Alicia Alonso. Prima Ballerina Assoluta, renowned choreographer and artistic director, her work, spanning over almost 75 years, has marked the history of dance.

Les Grands Ballets had the immense honour to receive the grand dame of dance, as well as her company, on several occasions, namely in 2016 when the Ballet nacional de Cuba presented Don Quixote in Montreal. Les Grands Ballets would like to offer their sincerest condolences to Mrs. Alonso's loved ones.
